Too many years ago than I care to remember, my resident advisor in college, a graduate student in the Religion Dept. named Howard Happ, sang this one. It was part of his magnum opus, a musical about the Salem witch trials, which he called "North Atlantic". Well, actually I don't think he wrote the whole musical, just a few parodies. But I could be wrong...

M is for his long and dull Magnalia
A is 'cause he always thinks he's right
T is for the tall witch tales he'll tell ya
H is for hot witches he helped light
E means he's the enemy of evil
R's for his religiositie (I-T-I-E)
Put them all together, they spell Mather
The biggest blowhard in the Colony

I wonder whatever happened to Mr. Happ.
